Steve Kragthorpe thinks your poll is crap.

I agree, but I was going by the options the poster gave me.

Gary Parrish throws Tom Crean's name out as a possible replacement for Pitino in the short-term.

ESPN reporting that Tom Crean is a candidate for interim UL coach....unreal, PLEASE let this happen.

WHOA...Can this day get better

Who'd of guessed Bobby Petrino would be the smartest and cleanest guy at U of L?

Is he though

[Catsrock]

Kragthorpe is unpopular there because he is the only guy in the Jurich era to come in, see a cesspool and try to clean it up. He was left with nothing to work with after kicking out half the felons and the other half left on their own.

That, and he was a crappy head coach.

I think I just heard that UofL is giving themselves a 48-hour timetable to name an interim coach?

Makes sense because practice starts so soon, but it also means that they might have a name already. I'd guess Davenport. He'd be a great fit. Beloved in Louisville.

Pitino and Jurich both put on Administrative Leave....this is done because of their contracts. Pitino gets 10 days notice, Jurich 30 days

Matt Jones‏ @KySportsRadio
They are both gone....UL has to do it this way so they don't have to pay the buyouts in their Contracts

[J.Jennings]

Now all i see is "be care what you wish fore because you are next" from the Louisville fans. Bottomline, Cal doesnt go into a recruits home with a bunch of magic words or false promises, in fact he tells recruits straight up Kentucky isn't for everyone. However, he does sell the tradition of Kentucky and can almost guarantee you that if you show up to work everyday and do your job, you will become a millionaire in less than a year for the most part, it's a win-win for the recruit.......

UL President leaves open the possibility they could keep Pitino and Jurich (he has to do this because of the way their contracts are worded)
